Product Description

Review
'In addition to such central figures as Brentano, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Gadamer, this book also contains clear introductions to, and useful excerpts from Reinach, Scheler, Stein, de Beauvoir, Arendt, Derrida, and Ricoeur. The result is a rich, informative, reliable, and highly readable guide to phenomenology from its inception to the present day.' - David Bell, Sheffield University

'A judiciously selected and carefully edited series of readings in phenomenology. It will make an ideal sourcebook for students and an excellent textbook for teachers.' - Simon Critchley, University of Essex

'This well designed reader, crafted by Dermot Moran and Timothy Mooney, is as close as one can get to capturing the whole of phenomenology in a single volume. The introduction gives lucid guidance to the beginner while its tracking of the historical background to phenomenology has rich material for scholars as well. This collection would make an excellent textbook for courses and seminars.' - Professor Donn Welton, The University at Stony Brook, New York

'Clearly the product of serious thinking and a significant contribution ... the anthology is exemplary in its comprehensiveness, accessibility and its combination of informative discussion with critical evaluation.' - Critical and Cultural Theory

5.0 out of 5 stars Consciousness-raising, 21 Oct 2004
By Kurt Messick "FrKurt Messick" (London, SW1) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It is somewhat ironic that Phenomenology, as a term or as a philosophical school, has yet to really reach the popular consciousness, given that phenomenology is in many respects a study of consciousness and how reality impacts consciousness. Phenomenology in the most formal sense of being a school of philosophy is largely traced to Franz Brentano (1838-1917) and Edmund Husserl (1859-1938). Husserl's great work at the turn of the last century, Logical Investigations, set the stage for the development of phenomenology as a way of seeing, a descriptive study with roots in empiricism going back to inspiration from Aristotelian ideas. This is a key word - description. Rather than being a set of constructs and principles typical of previous philosophical systems, Phenomenology attempts to describe reality fully as reality is presented to our senses.

Phenomenology is different from scientific study in that it does not pretend toward a universal truth or experience unmediated through our subjectivity (a principle modern science seems to be incorporating more and more). Editor Dermot Moran has a solid introduction to the subject, including distinctions of different kinds of study, some of the personalities involved in the development of phenomenology, and the current state of the discipline.

The list of names of those involved in phenomenology as a discipline or as a method reads like a who's who of twentieth century intellectuals - Derrida, Ricoeur, Arendt, Heidegger, Sartre, Levinas, and others. Each of these, in addition to Husserl and Brentano, have articles and extracts included in this volume, along with some other thinkers as well. The collection here shows the breadth of the influence of phenomenology on the intellectual development of the past hundred years, as well as take the reader through a sequenced development of phenomenology using representative primary texts, provided here in an accessible, English-language edition.

This book can be used as a collection of readings in connection with Dermot Moran's text, Introduction to Phenomenology (also by the Routledge Press, 2000). It can also be used as a stand-alone survey of phenomenology with success, particularly if the reader takes advantage of the lists of further readings at the end of each section.

Phenomenology is a fascinating subject, and the method of learning the subject from the original sources, the primary texts of the foundational thinkers, is second to none.

5.0 out of 5 stars Needed, 15 Mar 2005
By David J. Smith "loupgarou" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This reader is definitely needed as the complement to Moran's Introduction to Phenomenology (also available through Amazon). I bought Dermot Moran first, and was dissapointed at the lack of theoretical and philosophical content and at the excess of politicisation and historicism. This volume, edited by Moran, was the antidote to that dissapointment. The readings selected are exemplary, and while given the breadth of thought and subjects tackled by the phenomenologists a single volume can only present a nibble, a lot of work seems to have gone into the selection process so that the diversity of phenomenological application to philosophy and of the matters for thought of the philosophers is really lit up for us. Taken together this and Moran's volume form an excellent point of departure (in all senses - see the generous inclusion of Derrida and Levinas) for understanding the basics of phenomenological hermeneutics, and of how phenomenology can stand quite independantly of other discliplines, being in its own right a worthy method of reflection and inspection.
